92 – The reason for the fight (2)
The press conference that I can absorb other people’s superpowers caused a bigger wave than I thought.
It is a part that attracts attention just by being a multiple ability person, and if you can express multiple abilities at the same time, it attracts even more attention.
Three or more revenge abilities can be manifested at the same time, and if all of them are combat-type, countries such as the United States, Russia, China, and Japan send love calls to take them to each other.
Since my ability was announced in such a situation, I must have expected such an impact.
ㅡ It’s quite noisy, keuhhehehe! The center of the world revolves around us, Brave!
Noisy, man.
After the press conference, people always followed me around to see where the rumors were.
Humbert hasn’t been active lately, so there wasn’t anything particularly problematic going on, but he was pretty tired.
Grid has to buy a lot of ingredients because the amount of food is at least three times that of an adult male.
In addition to that, he’s a guy who surprisingly enjoys luxuries, so he’s quite particular about things like high-end chocolates and after-dinner tea.
I like snacks, so I often eat popcorn or ice cream.
Later on, I feared that I might be looking at the things I ordered online.
ㅡ It feels like being a star.
Is this a star?
I went to the mart to replenish food ingredients, but I can feel people staring at me.
Even though I was wearing a hat in preparation for this kind of situation.
If it had been a few days later for Grid to come into my body, he would have been the kind of person who would have raised a scandal when he saw Grid and I together.
If I find a cat on the street and pet the cat’s head….
ㅡ Shock! Brave is an irresponsible person. Cat mom blah blah….
I guess I’ll wrap the article with this feeling.
The eyes that gathered around me were hot and stinging on the other hand.
ㅡ Even though I caught the thief, it was noisy.
After I held a press conference, my every move was on the cutting board.
One of them was a trio of thieves we recently caught.
There were a lot of articles that exaggerated the work, saying that he was violent even though he did not have a hero badge.
There was a part where I stated that I did not use my supernatural powers, so I just skipped it, but it was really tiring.
“Brave! I am reporter Lee Ji-hwan of Dongguk Newspaper. Can I talk to you for a second?”
This person has no clue.
“I am off right now.”
“It only takes a moment. In just a moment!”
ㅡ A bug-like guy.
I looked at him and looked around to see if anyone had come with him.
Did you come alone?
Looks like someone in their early to mid twenties, eyes that contain some heat… Rookie Gizanga.
It’s annoying.
“I have nothing to say.”
HQ was quite skeptical of my press conference.
I expected this kind of situation to happen, and it was a very dangerous act that revealed my ability to Humbert as well.
But it was something I had to do someday.
Because if I treated people with psychic syndrome in such a state of attention, it would have been discovered anyway.
In the first place, there was an incident where people who had psychic syndrome were discharged in droves from Buwon Hospital and Eunseong Hospital.
If you dig the roots, it will eventually come out, so I had no choice but to do it because I decided that now was the right time.
“Really! Really! All it takes is a little bit!”
This is really annoying, man.
“Did you say Dongguk Newspaper?”
“Yes, yes!”
Don’t look at it with an expectant expression.
Because the story you want won’t come out.
“In my interviews with other reporters, I might bring up the story that the Dongguk newspaper was very rude.”
As soon as I said that, the reporter who had been following me eagerly froze on the spot.
“You know what I want to say, right?”
“That… yes.”
The reporter trudged away.
ㅡ Do you feel any guilt?
Guilt?
That’s only once or twice.
The press conference was held exactly one week after defeating the monster.
Five days have passed since then, and such reckless reporters come every day.
So I don’t care anymore.
I didn’t even want to care.
ㅡ Still, I hope there are no humans following me tonight.
That’s right.
Now it’s time to go see him.
Because reporters get tired when they smell him.
***
I came home, finished my meal, and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
ㅡ It’s time.
I got up quietly and checked the signs in front of the door.
ㅡ It seems to be fine.
The current time is past midnight, so it seems that all the people around me have gone back.
Still, I decided to escape through the window just in case.
Anyone aware of Humbert’s existence should be kept to a minimum.
Because he’s that dangerous and scary.
Even though it was September, I still ran through the hot night sky and headed for the bar where it appeared.
Fortunately, no one seemed to catch up.
I took one last look around and cautiously stepped straight ahead.
As soon as I opened the door and entered the bar, I felt the stuffy and heavy atmosphere.
It was the same with the nerve-racking sound of the vinyl record, and the bartender cleaning the glasses at the counter.
ㅡ Since it’s hot, make a cassis frappe, Brave.
“Casis Frappe.”
“Okay.”
When did you start researching cocktails or something again?
ㅡ You can’t neglect building knowledge.
I’m guessing you did some research just because you wanted to eat it, bastard.
ㅡ That is also true.
“This is Cassis Frappe.”
A cocktail came out that looked like I could understand why the grid was hot, so I ordered this.
Crunchy ice floated around, so it felt like it would be suitable for summer.
I carefully put a cocktail called Cassis Frappe in my mouth so that the cocktail wouldn’t overflow.
… Quite tasty.
The alcohol content seems to be low and it tastes like bokbunja, so I don’t feel pressured, but the ice was crunchy and crunchy, so it felt good.
“Oh my gosh, wasn’t our promise a gin and tonic?”
Just as I was about to taste the cocktail again, the bastard appeared.
I set my glass down on the table, glaring at him.
“Cocktails are not drinks that strain the eyes. Hmm… Since it’s summer, how about a mojito?”
He ordered a mojito and sat down next to me.
“To think that Brave, a superhero whose face is hard to see now, is coming here… What an honor.”
“Damn it.”
I ignored the exaggerated words of the man and drank the cocktail.
The atmosphere here is disgusting, the songs annoying, and I want to kill this bastard, but the cocktails are delicious.
“It was rough before, but it feels a little rougher. But… I don’t know if it’s natural because you must have suffered a lot.”
He smiled and drank the mojito placed in front of him.
“Whoa. So, was the ability the absorption of psychic powers? What a great ability, Brave.”
He showed an excited expression, like someone who had seen some impressive movie.
Why is the reaction like this?
“Hmm? It must be strange that I react this way.”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t it fun? The characters in the story have become more three-dimensional and attractive.”
“A story?”
The guy laughed and nodded his head.
“Wouldn’t it be more fun to talk to each other like this rather than one-sidedly beating and beating?”
“….”
“I never thought you would catch that monster, Brave. It’s embarrassing because the plan went completely awry…. So I guess I need some time too.”
“Time?”
“It means I won’t be seen in front of you for a while. Won’t you be busy for a while anyway? You will have to travel all over the world.”
“… Are you going to wait?”
“It’s not just waiting. I needed time to reorganize, and it just kind of fits your circumstances.”
I don’t know how much to believe in this guy’s words.
Perhaps he read my expression like that, he erased his smile and put on a serious expression.
“I don’t lie, Brave. Because that’s what the weak do.”
He said that he could erase this piece of land off the map if he put his mind to it.
It never sounded like a joke, and it sent a chill down his spine.
“By the way.”
The face of the guy who had been talking happily until just now became quite serious.
“Brave. You were impatient.”
“What?”
“You have changed from being a little peculiar to being unique. The power to absorb psychic powers? What a power. Therefore… You made the wrong choice.”
The guy continued his story in a voice full of certainty.
“Korea is a relatively stable country. But other countries are not necessarily like that. How would the power of psychic power be used in such a country?”
What he’s talking about is probably a criminal group.
A criminal group of the same kind as the mafia.
It is obvious how the outlaws, who had been committing illegal acts before the appearance of the monster, will use the psychic powers created after the appearance of the monster.
Are you giving me some advice that they’re going to target me?
“Your abilities will attract a lot of attention. It will also attract the attention of those who are not good.”
“….”
“You get into trouble at best… I don’t know if you think that much, but those kinds of beings are more vicious and tenacious than you think.”
Humbert stood up and looked down at me.
“I hope this encounter won’t be the last because of something as obvious and boring as taking a hostage.”
The guy who said that just disappeared like smoke.
I couldn’t help but stare blankly at it.
ㅡ … It could be.
Do you see that as a possibility?
ㅡ It’s possible. Being able to handle all psychic powers is just as attractive and dangerous.
Grid gave an example of why the nation is the reason for the separation of powers.
That’s not wrong.
Even if it’s for healing purposes, if one person has too many psychic powers, it is well worth raising concerns.
There is a possibility that a group will appear to try to bind me for the sake of social stability.
Because Korea is a very conservative country when it comes to using equipment other than suits for heroes.
Besides that, there will be a group of people who approach me to use me in a bad way.
Grid said that he was right this time and that he needed to take action.
ㅡ Depend on country or GB group. Because we can’t handle this on our own.
Yes, it should be.
The reason we formed the organization from the beginning was to deal with him.
It’s not a bad thing since it makes my parents and acquaintances a little safer.
I emptied the remaining cassis frappe in my glass and stood up.
Starting tomorrow, we plan to absorb the powers of psychic syndrome patients across the country.
After that, they will go to a relatively nearby country to treat psychic syndrome.
The thing I was most worried about was Humbert’s unexpected behavior when he learned of my psychic powers.
But Humbert said he won’t run amok for a while, so he’ll be safe for a while.
