Episode 168:
It was good that the League’s secret warehouse was discovered through the work of the doggo.
It was just there. As I entered the warehouse, I clicked my tongue in disappointment at the sight I saw.
“Tsk, everything was swept away.”
There were no items to be found in the countless display cases. They moved quickly and swept away everything that could be useful when withdrawing.
I looked around to see if I had spilled anything. There was nothing to be seen in the empty space, and when we arrived at the end of the warehouse, there was a small storage box.
When I opened the unlocked locker, it was full of documents. I think he left it for me to see.
When I looked at the contents inside, it was written that while targeting East Asia, I had ties with powerful figures in Korea, China, Japan, and Russia.
Well, without local helpers, it wouldn’t have been easy to put down roots.
This is a fact I also know. No, anyone with even a little bit of thought would know that.
However, the fact that this was the only thing left showed me that there was an impure intention.
I clicked my tongue.
“You’re joking.”
[Which one?]
“Why do you think these guys who took everything here left only this?”
[I don’t know.] I
guess Yongyong, who has only limited experience in the human world, doesn’t know what it means. I immediately got the feeling when I saw the documents that were neatly organized as if they were tipping off the corruption of those in power.
Because I have experienced this many times when I had a hematoma.
Using my power, the car-killing system was rampant.
“It’s teasing.”
[Telling me what I did wrong?]
“The League guys let me have this on purpose. “If I see this, what would be the right thing to do?”
[Wouldn’t you first break the limbs of a struggling person and use brainwashing to check if what was written there is true?] “….” Well, you know me
so
well, don’t you? For a moment, I thought I was mind reading.
Although it was annoying to say this with 100% certainty, it is not completely wrong.
“Argos must have expected this too. “I hope there will be trouble because of me.”
[Are you trying to make a fuss with your own hands?]
“That’s right.”
So, I guess I left this in a place where I could see it easily. Tell me to get right into my hands.
But didn’t you expect the missile attack? If I had fallen here, I might not have it.
Oh, you assumed the missile’s power to be weak?
[Then it would not suit my intention.]
“There is no reason to think that way again.”
[Huh?]
“We have to check if it’s true and if it’s trash, we have to throw it away.”
If you ignore the garbage because it is dirty, the smell spreads everywhere. You must clean up and incinerate as soon as you see it to maintain a clean world, so you must be diligent.
It matches the rhythm of Argos, but I don’t mind if it benefits me.
Here, my interest means making the world more comfortable.
“The most disgusting ones may have been intentionally omitted, so I’ll have to look for them.”
Because you’re looking for the dirtiest thing in the trash heap.
Well, I’ll have to leave this to the experts.
Actually, I do everything I can if it smells bad.
Yongyong shook his head.
[I don’t know your thinking structure.]
“I don’t understand you either, so can you understand me?”
All we have to do is acknowledge each other’s differences and live according to our own definitions. I am as I am, Yongyong is as Yongyong is.
If you cross the line here, you just have to use your own strength.
[That’s correct.]
I came up to the ground with the dog carrying the document storage box. They also took the bodies of the dead twins.
I heard that the two of you are having a huge fight in Russia, so I’m sure they’ll be happy if you send it to me.
The reason why I suddenly care about Russia is because I think I will often have to use Russian territory when I go abroad in the future. And since our territories will be in direct contact, it would be a good idea to show them at least a small favor.
If there’s no reaction to this, it doesn’t matter.
It was time to pack everything and head to the yacht to return.
[Look over there!]
Yongyong shouted and an eye appeared in the air. It was from Argos that I had seen before. As expected, I was watching.
-It’s been a while, Headbreaker. Did you stay well?
“What are you asking after seeing everything?”
-This is a common greeting. I see you received my gift well.
The gaze of the bizarre eyes was fixed on the file cabinet in my hand.
“I’ll use it usefully.”
-I’m glad my intentions were conveyed well. And…
Argos stopped talking and looked at me. What are you trying to say?
-Still not thinking about joining the league?
“Oh, nothing.”
-You must have seen a lot of the dark side of society. You must have been disappointed in them. Headbreaker You have the power to change that. But why do you force yourself to fit into society?
“That collision process is fun.”
-….
This is why Argos is a minion. No, the entire league is a gathering of social misfits.
I had a very terrible experience in my last life, so there is no reason to repeat it.
“That’s why you can’t come into the system and are treated like a villain.”
I need to make society accept my existence like me. Those in the League are treated as beings to be killed in each country, so no matter which city they enter, they have to hide their identity and travel in secret.
If I want to, I can confidently walk down the street even at dawn and walk without hiding my face.
Ah, now that I think about it, even when I had a hematoma, I didn’t hide my face. Is that why you were often tracked?
I guarantee that if Argos returns, they will not create a 100% league-like organization and will enjoy everything they have within the system like me.
Or not.
-I think both you and me, Headbreakers, are the same in trying to change society to our tastes. We are the same. There is only a difference in method.
I didn’t know you could rationalize it this way. I once again realized that Argos’ tongue was moving smoothly. You can’t lead the league by keeping your mouth shut, right?
-Take our hands. We can give you half the world.
Even the spirit of declaring the world as his own.
If they had sold it door-to-door at my house, I might have bought a few pieces of jade flooring.
But the fundamental problem is that I have no desire to conquer the world or anything.
-If that’s not enough, come join the league. If you are willing to hand over the league.
“I don’t want to give that to you.”
You went back in time and managed to erase the villain label, but now you want to become the head of a villain organization that wants to rule the world?
If I accept this, I’ll be admitting that I’m worse than a hematoma.
He’s worse than that crazy guy. It’s scary to even imagine.
-I’ll say it again, Headbreaker, you were born to be a villain.
“This kid is crossing the line again?”
They say they can’t be persuaded and start talking bullshit again.
I can accept all other words with a smile, but I can’t stand those words.
-Don’t let us kill you with our own hands.
“You still say that even if the guy you were bragging about, saying you were the zodiac and all, dies by my hands?”
-These are people who put their own ideas ahead of the league’s ideas. It had excellent skills and was left behind, but its purpose was limited to that. We’d like to thank you for taking care of this without having to use our hands.
At one point, they started talking about freedom and all that, but it was naturally moving toward dictatorship.
Once the fancy outer packaging is removed, the essence is like this.
“There’s nothing more to talk about.”
-Next time I see you again, I hope that your stubbornness has changed in a good direction.
After saying those words, his eyes closed and he disappeared. I tried to destroy it, but it ran away one step ahead. Next time, I will explode the moment I start talking nonsense.
I clicked my tongue at the nonsense disguised as politeness. If you hadn’t noticed the sophistry contained within, it would have been easy to skip.
what? Give me half the world? Do I rule the league?
If you eat such a troublesome thing, you are likely to explode and die.
“Dog, let’s go.”
bruise!
It was when I was about to return to the yacht with the dog. I looked at Yongyong, who was somehow ecstatic, and made a puzzled expression.
Why is he like this again?
[….]
“Hey, why are you so serious?”
[huh? Oh, I have something to think about.]
“What did you see?”
Argos has a lot of strange aspects. Yongyong, a divine beast, might have seen something in his eyes that I couldn’t.
But the guy didn’t answer easily.
[I’m not sure. I’ll think about it some more and let you know when I’ve figured it out.]
“Okay.”
It looked so serious that I nodded obediently.
I’ll let you know when the time comes.
* * *
One league base was destroyed, but it did not return to Seoul. I have to keep what I promised before. I took a yacht and arrived at a place formerly called Rajin Port.
After finishing work, I decided to meet Yu Hao here.
After arriving at Rajin Port and making contact with the satellite phone, Yu Hao appeared alone about 30 minutes later. He shook his head as he looked at the yacht anchored right in front of him.
“You really went on a yacht.”
“You didn’t believe me?”
“Because it’s not easy.”
What’s not easy?
I understood the meaning of what followed.
“How did you avoid the monsters on the way?”
Why are you asking obvious questions? You can tell just by looking at it, right?
“I killed everyone I saw.”
“….”
“Why?”
“No, it’s nothing. “It was the first time I saw someone treat a sea monster like that.”
[Look, are you weird?]
Yongyong came forward, thinking it was time to ignore his words and expressed his gratitude to Wei Hao for helping him.
“Thank you for the missile support. “It was a great help.”
“I just kept my promise.”
Those words sounded like I should also keep my promise. I didn’t feel too bad because I was planning on keeping it anyway.
He is very useful, so you need to take good care of him.
“There are two ways to get rid of loneliness.”
I spread out two fingers.
“One is to kill them right now while they are asleep. The other is to completely burn it down.”
“Is there a reason for classifying the two?”
“For the former, it won’t hurt, but the body will slowly decompose in your head, and for the latter, it will hurt a lot because it will be burned.”
“I’ll do the latter.”
I thought he would choose that too. Even if it means suffering right away, it would be better to remove it cleanly.
He won’t completely trust me.
“Stick your head out.”
“I get it.”
I placed my hand on Yu Hao’s head and confirmed that Solitude was asleep.
I began to eliminate loneliness by putting my will into Hyegwangsimeo. Even if cast at a reasonable intensity, the loneliness would have died, but the intensity had to be increased to completely remove the corpse from the mind.
“Keuuuu!”
Yu Hao held his head in agony as the pain burned inside his head.
The intense struggle continued for about 10 minutes. After that, the pain seemed to gradually subside, and the struggling subsided and became completely quiet.
It’s my first time doing it too and it’s alive.
There’s no need to say this.
“Huh! “Huh!”
“Are you okay?”
“Is it over now?”
“Oh, you’re free.”
“….”
Yu Hao looked filled with emotion. Well, I must be very happy because I was deprived of my freedom and had to suffer for a long time due to loneliness.
I was so touched when I ate my mother’s soybean paste stew, which I had been longing for.
Anything more than that would be more, not less.
I felt a strange sense of kinship, so I decided to give him one more. Wei Hao will also like it.
“And I prepared one more surprise.”
“Just gaining freedom is already too much.”
“Don’t do that. Wouldn’t it be good for you to connect with me too? “There will be quite a bit of conflict with the Chinese government in the future.”
“….”
Yu Hao nodded with a stern expression.
There’s a bomb planted in your head, so there’s no way you can stay still. Moreover, since they also fired missiles at Russia at my request, problems will arise in this area as well.
You’ll need a way out.
Korea is also a mother country, so it can be a great alternative in that respect.
“What is that gift?”
I said, thinking of his happy face.
“You go to level 9.”
“…This suddenly?”
“You’re not as happy as I thought?”
I thought you would like it? It’s level 9! You guys are crazy about this stuff!
“To be honest, I’m embarrassed.”
“what?”
“I tried everything to become a pre-teen. There was full support from the Chinese government here. As if that wasn’t enough, all kinds of statistical manipulation took place. “But I’m not used to hearing that it can be achieved so easily.”
“Oh, I thought you had enough skills? Then you deserve it. Have confidence!”
“….”
Yu Hao neither confirmed nor denied. If you show more humility here, you’re admitting that your skills are lacking.
It’s okay to like it. You are the first Level 9 born, recognized by Choi Jun-ho.
But Yu Hao looked at me with a strange expression that could neither cry nor laugh. Why do I have to like it like that?
I guess it still feels real.
Yes, you may be confused.
“And take this.”
Among the documents obtained from the league base, I handed over the part containing the corruption of high-ranking Chinese officials.
The guy’s expression hardened after he glanced at the contents.
He will take care of the rest.
“Then let’s do well in our respective positions. Level 9.”
I climbed onto the yacht, waved my hand, and then returned to Korea.
Are we going to kill each other now?
[You were really bad.]
