74 – The Essence of a Hero (4)
The words Loritani and Humbertney came out and the atmosphere was a bit strange, but the people gathered here were professionals.
I immediately refreshed the atmosphere and immediately began to devise countermeasures.
The first thing that came up was the story of where I had met this man.
I gave him the address of the bar where he met.
“You mean the bartender at that bar was also suspicious?”
“Yes. Her man changed her face or voice as she left, but she didn’t look surprised. They probably know each other.”
Aside from that, the scene I saw with psychometry.
The place where Flash knelt down and screamed was also a bar.
It must mean that the bartender is also in a relationship with that bastard.
“Then you should also listen to the bartender’s appearance.”
I also laid out the appearance of the bartender in as much detail as possible.
This time too, the professor drew a plausible montage with great drawing skills.
“How is it?”
“It’s almost the same.”
“Mmm.”
The professor uploaded images that looked similar to the drawn montage, and I took a picture of one of them.
Because he can change his appearance, it can be difficult to investigate.
But this bartender is different, so maybe we can get a clue.
From then on, it was a breeze.
The number of people entering the address I mentioned was being culled, and if they had already disappeared, there was talk about how to start tracking them.
I fell into trouble listening to their stories.
Because I had to explain my abilities so that I could provide additional information.
ㅡ Please refrain from that.
As expected… It will be dangerous
The people gathered here are active in the forefront of criminal investigations.
If I make even the slightest mistake, they will strangle me straight away.
Because I’m not an ordinary human being.
The number of people to be dispatched to the bar was summoned.
In just 10 minutes, reports came in that as many as 10 people had gathered and set off for the bar.
On the screen in the president’s office, real-time videos sent by those dispatched to the scene were projected.
“Is that right, Brave?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
Fortunately, the bar didn’t disappear.
The 10 people who were dispatched to the scene were careful not to gather people’s eyes with different clothes and movements.
Those who waited for the signal to charge began to enter the bar in order when the sign came out.
As I descended the stairs, the disgusting bar caught my eye.
From noble mtl dot com
Perhaps the repairs had been completed in that brief moment, and the part I had been messing with with my electric power was also in a clean state.
Guests disguised as two couples who entered first sat at the counter.
Then we ordered cocktails while chatting.
We watched it through the screen.
“… The bartender has changed.”
Mr. Inhyeok, who had been called the negotiator, muttered with an interesting expression.
“Just in case you don’t know, let’s watch more.”
At Joo Won’s words, we nodded and looked at the screen.
After two people disguised as a couple entered, one more member disguised as an office worker in a suit was put in.
After that, it was the moment when two more people entered.
ㅡ It’s amazing.
The man who had just been silently cleaning cups or mixing cocktails opened her mouth.
It was that voice.
ㅡ Did Brave have this much power? I was mistaken.
Mr.
The 5 people who were watching from the outside jumped into the bar, and the 5 people who had infiltrated earlier ran into the guy disguised as a bartender.
Three agents, each with acceleration, body strengthening, and body hardening abilities, charged at him.
The two agents were telekinetically capable and were using their abilities to check the guy’s movements.
With this level of ability, he was capable of dealing with even a B-class monster.
ㅡ If this is all, it would be very disappointing.
That was such a strange scene.
The moment the agent with the ability to harden the body swung his fist at him, the sound of his bones breaking resounded.
The agent who had just swung his fist grabbed him by the wrist and slumped in his seat, screaming.
After confirming that, the agent with the ability to accelerate threw a net for suppression towards his man.
He was in a situation where he couldn’t even follow the person with the acceleration ability.
I thought this would definitely work.
However, as if there was a transparent membrane, the net was blocked by something and fell to the floor.
And then, the person with the acceleration ability hit his face in the empty air and collapsed to the floor.
ㅡ What the hell is this?!
The agents who distanced themselves from him and used their telekinesis abilities lowered their hands in vain.
It felt as if the man’s telekinesis didn’t work.
ㅡ These are noisy guests.
He glanced at the agents before heading back to the counter.
ㅡ I’m sure you’ll be watching there anyway, Brave?
He called me while washing the cup.
ㅡ You are beyond my expectations in a really good way.
The bar was still playing that irritating song from the vinyl record.
It was a heavy, slow, yet piercing song like the summer rainy season.
ㅡ I don’t think it belongs to a government agency…. Oh, come to think of it, was it the Hawkeye Hero Office? It was kind of weird too.
He started laughing with a happy expression, as if he had remembered something interesting.
ㅡ Brave, you are a friend with wider feet than I thought.
He leisurely switched records and played new music.
I don’t know because I’m not very good at this, but it was a slow tempo song with a heavy feeling.
ㅡ But you won’t be able to catch me in the usual way.
The crew were at a loss as to what to do with this situation.
Mr. Cheol-soo ordered the reorganization by collecting the injured members as if he had judged that the situation was going strangely.
Even under such circumstances, he was making cocktails in a carefree manner.
Gin tonic.
It was a cocktail made by beginners who are visiting the bar for the first time.
ㅡ But isn’t that fair? That can’t be a game.
… Game?
It is an incident in which 13 people died.
It is an incident that led to a suicide of a hero.
But that… Is it a game?
ㅡ It’s good to see what kind of face you’re making. Relax your face, Brave.
He stroked his chin, pondered for a while, then raised his index finger.
ㅡ For a fair game, it would be right to give hints. Killing the people who evacuated from the underground laboratory this time… It’s a monster.
The atmosphere in the room became so heavy that it couldn’t be compared to before.
A monster who mimicked a human but had a strange corner somewhere.
This monster used to have some level of intelligence, but there were a lot of awkward parts to be called human.
A monster that mimicked something like a hero suit.
This monster could not speak, but his intelligence was incomparably developed.
And the beings who kidnapped and killed the researchers this time.
I knew they were monsters.
Because I witnessed the scene where the author was attacked using psychometry.
That attack was a common attack method used by monsters.
But I think it was quite a shocking story to the people here who learned about it for the first time today.
“A monster indistinguishable from a human….”
There were signs from the beginning.
Because monsters imitating humans and possessing high intelligence were appearing.
I knew that one day a monster indistinguishable from a human would emerge.
But I believed that there would be time to spare.
And now, that hopeful observation has been shattered.
A monster that is almost no different from a human being who cannot be noticed even if it is mixed with humans has finally appeared.
It is fortunate if Black Technology offers a new solution.
But now they have issued a statement that they will resume their activities after safety is secured from the monster’s attack.
If even that is not followed, nationality will be transferred.
The way we can tell them apart… Does not exist.
ㅡ A total of 15 monsters were prepared. Let’s make it active only in Seoul. The duration is 1 week. Oh, except for today, it’s been a week. If you don’t catch 15 within a week… Something interesting will happen.
As he said that, he swallowed the cocktail he had made.
ㅡ Next time, Brave, I’ll only come when you appear here. Because I want to talk to you
I asked Mr. Cheolsu if he could use the pointing microphone.
Mr. Cheol-soo handed me the microphone with a slightly stiff expression.
I asked the agent to turn the volume up so he could hear my voice.
“Hey.”
ㅡ Oh, is it Brave? You were right, too.
“Why… it’s me?”
ㅡ Hmm?
“Why are you so obsessed with me?”
ㅡ Why? Don’t you know?
I wouldn’t even ask if I knew that, you scumbag.
ㅡ Because you are special.
“Special?”
ㅡ This society… I made it, Brave.
He said with a somewhat distressed expression.
ㅡ When a foreign enemy appeared, people hurriedly prepared countermeasures. Of course, there was a lot of damage in between.
ㅡ The use of heat weapons to hunt monsters was very limited. It has no choice but to be. Because I’ve always only made monsters appear in big cities.
ㅡ Still, I couldn’t leave the monster alone, so somehow it was expelled.
ㅡ Meanwhile, beings capable of hunting monsters began to appear.
ㅡ This is the appearance of First, the first hero.
He stroked the half-filled glass with a proud expression on his face.
ㅡ First is a very symbolic figure. If First hadn’t made such a spectacular appearance, what do you think society would be like today?
ㅡ In the US, there is a movie in which psychics are socially outcast. It is possible that something like that could have happened.
ㅡ In that sense, I have an attachment to First.
ㅡ But the heroes who appeared after First… Are you really a hero?
ㅡ Isn’t it just a service organization that works for money?
The air that had been stuffy with worries about society just now started to feel stuffy in a different way.
A place where people involved in the hero industry gather.
That’s why you can’t stand the words of someone who insults heroes.
Even I felt like grinding my teeth.
ㅡ But you caught my eye.
ㅡ You are such a good person that it is rare to see these days.
ㅡ What do you think is the essence of a hero?
ㅡ A hero is not a service organization that works for money, nor is it a job.
ㅡ I think the essence of a hero is a vigilante. Working without cost to remove the darkness of society, isn’t that what a hero is?
After he finished speaking, he held out his index finger.
ㅡ It’s just like you.
After drinking the cocktail, he put down his glass and turned his back to the crew.
Even though it was an opportunity, no crew rushed towards it.
With his back to the crew, he opened his mouth with only his head slightly turned.
ㅡ Don’t disappoint, Brave. I want you to come to catch the demon king like a hero.
That was the moment he said that.
Lolitana’s sucker K-Humbert Cub. I couldn’t learn from my mother and father, so the smell of orphans lingered here, b*tch. Keep your mouth shut, b*tch.”
The guy who was about to leave stopped right there.
Then he looked at this place with quite terrifying eyes and then disappeared like smoke.
We looked blankly at the person who had just made that bizarre remark.
“No, did I say something wrong? Are you holding on to that bastard Pom?”
ㅡ You’re not wrong. hehehehe, hahahaha!
Wrong words… Is not it?
