15 : What is the police in this world?
Consciousness returns with a sharp pain. And the first thing he recognized before the light that pierced his eyes was pain.
My head is dizzy. It was not long before I tossed and turned my body for a long time at a sensation similar to the motion sickness I felt when riding a roller coaster in the past.
The smell of alcohol stinging my nose and the white ceiling made me realize that I was in a hospital.
First of all, this is a police hospital. Looking out the window, it was roughly the 5th floor. It is a private hospital room and has a TV.
After checking the surroundings like that, I forcibly moved my stiff body to turn on the public television in the room.
The incident in Jongno- Of course, it was not something that could be just covered up, and I don’t know how much time has passed, but it wasn’t strange even if it was reported loudly in the news for at least a month.
Turning on the TV is not the same reason as I don’t remember what happened. Mina’s defeat by Sai and her kidnapping are as clear as can be drawn immediately.
What I want to check now. This happened after I passed out.
After watching the news channel on Kinney TV a few times, I saw a reporter with a familiar face. And the reporter was wearing a spleen expression against the background of a familiar street.
“[ A week ago. The scars of the battle between the supervillains and the superhero New Hope in Jongno-ga have not yet healed. ]”
“[A member of the task force. With the help of the superhero New Hope, all the supervillains and the chosen ones are arrested. In addition, the supervillain Xi suffered major injuries from manipulating them and is currently missing. ]”
“[In the process, the special team leader, Sergeant Lee Moon-soo, was injured and said that he is currently recovering. Thanks to his performance, the safety of Seoul has been secured! ]”
“[On that day, the government said they were doing their best to restore the broken city. The special task force was disbanded once the safety of the city was secured. It is said that the investigation into Sai will be carried out in cooperation between the special investigation team and the military-. ]”
On the news, the reporter flatly told lies that Sai had lost and that we had won.
do we win? Secure Seoul? How many supervillains have yet to be apprehended, is that bullshit?
Even a third-rate gossip channel, not Internet news, but a nationwide terrestrial broadcasting company, talking bullshit so confidently?
Even when I washed my face and looked at other news channels, they explained what happened in Jongno similarly to what I saw.
Looking at that news report, I want to find out what the high-ranking people ate wrong while I passed out, but let’s take it slow.
It’s been about a week since I passed out from a head injury. Sai disappears again.
The task force has been disbanded, the government has not informed of Mina’s kidnapping. There is no mention of the remaining supervillains at all.
Putting it all together, that’s it. that.
“It’s Sipal.”
The cops at the scene must have seen that Sai left unharmed and took Mina with him.
But what does it mean to come out like that?
Did you think you couldn’t beat Sai because even Mina lost? Is that why they throw away Mina and say shit that they will live on their own?
villains are real I sighed and checked the pockets of my clothes. Then, I took the cigarette pack and lighter inside and left the hospital room.
My body doesn’t move well, as if my bones or muscles are out of order, but if I don’t smoke in the cold wind, I feel like I’m going to search because I’m frustrated, so I ignored all the hospital procedures and opened the door-
“ah.”
“uh.”
As I left the hospital room, I met eyes with several people. Yunari and the goblin. And the goblin’s younger sister, the class president. A situation where only people who are relatively close to me are gathered.
I stare blankly at them for a moment. I was upset that one person had disappeared for no reason, so I licked my lips and asked.
“… … why are you all here? Who are you waiting for?”
“Wait for you, boy.”
No, then why are you doing this shit in front of the hospital room? Even if this is a private hospital room, being in front of the door is a nuisance in many ways.
So I rubbed my chin and opened the door to the hospital room.
“Wait inside. I’m going to smoke some cigarettes and go in!”
“It is absurd to say that a patient smokes a cigarette as soon as he wakes up. I’ll ask just one thing. Where can I ride if I don’t smoke that cigarette?”
I tried to come after smoking a cigarette, but Yunari interrupted by pulling on her hospital gown. When the collar pulls the body, wow! A strange sound came out and I couldn’t escape.
Stronger than you think No, honestly, my strength was weak, but I didn’t want to blush over something like this, so I followed them to the hospital room.
If it’s to the extent of waiting in front of a patient’s room where he’s been sleeping for a week, he’ll know he has something to say.
*****
“Did you see the news?”
“yes.”
The class president was the first to speak after halfway into the hospital room. That person was chewing gum instead of the cigarette he usually smoked.
It seemed that they made such a choice because it was a hospital. Or you are smoking inappropriately.
After answering, I looked at the people who had entered the room with me. Goblin, Yunari, and the vice-captain.
It’s not like they came here by chance. There must be a reason.
Ah well, since the class president heard the news, it was easy to guess what the reason was.
He must have come to talk about why there is no mention of Mina and what happened to Sai.
The news said that even the special task force was disbanded, so it must have been a total mess for a week while I was asleep.
But if you think about the purpose of Sai, you’re going to destroy everything. Why did you take Mina? What are the tall people thinking?
ㅡGood. Let’s stop the police right now.
The number of cases spins round and round until one result is reached.
The reason why I was wearing a police uniform even after reaching this point was because, frankly, remaining as a police officer was the most likely to survive.
Since I chose police as my job, I did everything I had to do and tried my best, but to be honest, it was a bit difficult.
High-ranking people are idiots who know themselves as gods, and work is dangerous. Colleagues and juniors admire me, who barely survived after being caught up in Sai’s ruse, and look at it as if it were anything.
Sai, if it wasn’t for that damn bitch, I’d have beaten her a long time ago because of the stress. I endured it because I didn’t want to die even though it was so fucked up, but did the police really give in to Sai?
So, what do you need to look at? quit right now There was no hesitation in summoning and throwing the letter of resignation that he always had in the corner of his heart.
No matter what feelings she has for me, either arrest Sai or I die. Because the way doesn’t change.
But why did Sifal really kidnap Mina, that crazy bitch? I gestured to the class president for a piece of nicotine gum and put it in my mouth.
… … Damn, it’s tasteless.
“ㅡ If you’ve seen the news, you’ll know roughly. The special task force is also leaving. The president who pushed us is dead. Sai is missing, and the high-ranking people seem to be frightened.”
“Sipal… … It’s a special social stability law, and we’re trying to make a strange law, and if we leave it as it is, we won’t be able to catch it and let it go.”
The class president looked at me with a face as if he had chewed something bitter. He had a face that he couldn’t help but feel ashamed of the situation.
I’m an incomparably diligent policeman, this situation must be really fucked up.
It is said that Sai’s investigation is handed over to the special investigation team, but is there anyone who doesn’t know how the special investigation team went bad?
What was the reason for creating the special task force? However, since the special task force that will replace the special investigation team has also been dismantled, the police are no different from declaring that they will let go of Sai.
“What are you going to do now?”
“You need to stop coping.”
“Hey, Moonsoo Lee. you… … .”
When I honestly answered the class president’s words, he looked at me with a slurred expression. It’s funny how the nobleman, who knew I was going to be like this anyway, reacted like that, I said with a snort.
“If the police give up on catching her, we’ll get out. I’m either going to catch her or go after her. I didn’t come all the way here to tell you because you know my brother.”
“… … baby.”
The class president shrugged his shoulders as if he had given up. I turned my gaze and looked at the two psychics and the child who were silently listening to me and the class president.
“So those of you who are there. What did you come for? I think it has something to do with the fact that you keep your mouth shut about all the fucking criminals you haven’t caught yet on the news.”
“I heard that the police quit, so you care about that?”
In response to my question, Yunari said. I already said what I was going to say, but I was annoyed that he was laughing in addition to poking around, but-
Come to think of it, this guy, like me, is a guy who gets fucked if he doesn’t get along well.
As long as she has shown that she can create a neutralizing drug, there is little chance that Yunari will take her life after Sai achieves her goal.
And the same goes for goblins. As long as Sai tries to deal with it, the goblin will surely die someday.
In a different sense from me, they are fucked up guys. So it wasn’t strange to say it in a confirming tone.
But why do you envy the death situation?
I would never have thought there would be things that made people think that it was better to die because they lived. I answered while holding back a sigh.
“It would be better to die if left alone, but whether it’s a police officer or not, why don’t you put it down and see?”
“If you’re a detective, you should answer that as well.”
Yunari said that and nodded. The goblin patted the back of her sister, who was sleeping and nodding off, as if taking over her words.
“As you said… … We continued to move after the search for the abducted New Hope and the disbanding of the task force.”
“First of all, it is not that the government pretends not to know the danger right in front of it and closes its eyes and cries because it is afraid of the relationship. The day Sai appeared, all the supervillains who were in control of Seoul disappeared.”
“… … entire?”
“entire.”
why do they disappear I tilted my head at the unbelievable story, but it is true because there is no reason for these guys to come all the way here and scream.
I already knew Sai was controlling the supervillains.
I couldn’t understand why I was bitten by all the supervillains when I was rampaging to destroy the entire country.
Right after that, I remembered the social stability law that the class president talked about, and muttered a sigh.
“Is that why you make such a law…? … Since Sai appears and then disappears, how did you think you could just move it?”
“… … maybe.”
“They are not assholes.”
It became a prediction of what the high-ranking people would think. The relationship moved, and in just one day, the supervillains who ruled the whole of Seoul disappeared.
High-ranking people saw that Sai could completely control the supervillains and thought that it would be difficult to win, so it would be nice to make fun of them and take advantage of them.
To be honest, even high-ranking people would have known that New Hope was the only hope to defeat Sai, or drop missiles or shells in Korea.
But since the New Hope was defeated and captured in reverse, what choice was there?
But that’s for the seniors.
“The question is, what did that bitch do by taking them away?”
“Yes.”
“What would happen if Sai took all the supernatural powers and turned them into mutants?”
“The uproar at 6.25 isn’t going to be a uproar.”
“… … You’re young, where did you hear that?”
The goblin was taken aback when suddenly people around his grandfather’s age used expressions that were useful, but he was right anyway.
As I said before, supervillains are fucking ego idiots.
Would it be more convenient to manipulate them and turn them into unconscious monsters or to please them? The answer is, of course, the former.
If you get what you can get through negotiations with the government, you’ve already achieved your goal, so it’s an unnecessary assumption.
I’m sure. Sai is not satisfied with this. As she has declared before, she will break and wreck them all.
And it will come to me on the ashes. Just imagining it makes me sick, but I’m talking to these people here just to avoid looking like that.
“-From now on, I will try to catch up with each other even if I am alone. I need your help, but with your help, I’m sure she’ll be able to catch her.”
“I came because I thought it would be like that, so please tell me comfortably.”
Fortunately, Yunari readily answered my words. I looked at the goblin. This guy’s ability is practically essential to this plan.
But can I ask her to risk her life with her sister next to her? I was choosing my words while feeling my mouth dry.
As if reading my gaze, the goblin patted her sleeping sister on the back and said,
“until now. I thought to myself as I looked at the detective. If I had met the detective before, I would have made a different choice. A detective like you, I wish there was one more person like that.”
“This incident made that thought even stronger, and how much I… … I also found out that he was a pathetic guy. How embarrassing a brother he was to my younger brother.”
“So now I want to become an older brother who is not ashamed of my younger brother. I’ll help you with anything. Please tell me.”
The goblin’s eyes were shining so clearly that he had never seen them before. Okay, it’s really burdensome for people with eyes like that. Isn’t good good?
I told them how to use my abilities in addition to the items I needed for the operation that I thought of in the meantime.
Yunari and Goblin heard what I said and said they could prepare easily, but I asked why they didn’t tell me what the operation was.
In order to explain this, I had to explain why Sai was doing this.
That meant I had to explain that the whole affair was being set up so Sai couldn’t fall in love with me and refuse to confess.
Mina initially believed me, but usually if I told the truth, she would ask me if I was crazy or send me to a mental hospital for nothing.
So after thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell a lie.
“… … Because I am the person who cares about each other the most. You want to use it in reverse. I’ll be moving alone, and it’s going to be a matter of risking my life- just in case, I’ll be careful not to spill anywhere.”
Because there is no certainty that Sai’s magical powers did not reach this hospital building itself. When I said that, they both nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, I was relieved that I was able to pass it well. The class president, who had been listening to our conversation, spoke to me with a sad expression.
“Baby. I’m still a cop, can I help you? Sadly, you talk except for me.”
“… … My brother suffers the same way. The world won’t turn around if there is at least one person like you left among the police.”
This is an honest sincerity. Although this class president is filthy, naive, and stupid. he’s still a good person
“Survive, bro. gotta live The retirement age is right around the corner.”
By the way, I’m going to quit being a police officer and run a chicken restaurant. If I get severance pay, I should go to a food academy, get a loan, and set up a small shop.
In addition, this time as a special task force team, can’t you get a pretty decent bonus? Save Mina, and between that bitch, how can there be nothing scary in life?
Sai’s kidnapping of Mina means he had a purpose. I wouldn’t kill him any more than that – but I’m fucking worried if he’ll feed me well.
I looked out the window at the sky with such concern, then looked ahead again, the class president chewing on his lips and lowering his head.
Goblin and Yunari had serious faces like soldiers going to the battlefield at any moment.
… … oh wait a minute my words now Does that sound like I’m going to kill a Sai bitch at the cost of my own life?
I tried to make it clear to them that I did not intend to die and that I did not mean it.
If the doctor came into the hospital room at good timing and woke up, I should tell you right away.
pestilence? If people’s affairs are to be twisted, they are twisted in this way.
This shit from the start, but can the operation succeed properly? I sighed in a situation where I had no choice but to wait for the moment.
In the middle of a city full of people who don’t question the disappearing New Hope and are satisfied with today’s peace.
Spring is coming, but it’s still chilly. It was a cold winter.
