The New Order of the North (6)
Late night.
In his own study, the head of the advisory committee rested his chin on his chin, immersed in his thoughts.
“Hmm…”
Across from such an advisory chairman, Regal Mite was sitting.
“I wondered what was going on because you who hated me suddenly came to visit me. Was that what you were trying to say to me?”
“Yes. I think Dr. Cube is Professor Hyun.”
As she clashed with Dr. Cube at her academy, her suspicions continued to grow, so eventually, Regal Might visited the advisor’s house.
Because the only person at the highest level of the Management Bureau who knew about Professor Hyun was the advisory chairman.
It would be possible to verify how far the administration had grasped Dr. Cube, and if so, whether the concerns of Regal Mite were valid.
“I wrote a link…”
“You’re probably aware of that. It’s something Professor Gyo-hyeon likes to use when dealing with high-level villains.”
“I know. It’s a complicated technique that I can’t possibly copy if I want to copy it. Did Dr. Cube write that twice on you?”
“Yes, it’s too obvious to be a coincidence.”
“Ummm…”
The chairman was silent, and Regal Mite asked urgently.
“Chairman. How much do you know about the Bureau? Please tell me.”
“It’s all up to what you know. There are a couple of things suspected of being Professor Hyun, but no one has been able to give a clear answer as to why he became Dr. Cube. There is physical evidence, but no real evidence. It’s a situation where the importance of hyperthyroidism is reversed.”
Gray auras are common.
Dr. Cube’s defense technology is basic, considering what has been revealed so far, and it only looks very powerful because of the strength of the aura and the creative way of operating it.
The call sign might have been borrowed by one of the people who read Han Tae-woo’s web novel.
It is not too strange to think that someone with a gray aura is committing a copycat crime because he was impressed by the supporting role of Dr. Cube.

So there is no progress because it is not possible to find out ‘why’ Professor Hyun-hyun became Dr.
For that reason, Secreto is making a fuss to acquire Dr. Cube’s biometric information.
“This is what I think, Chairman. Perhaps Professor Hyun has been brainwashed or mentally controlled?”
“Does that mean you’ve been attacked by a mind type?”
“Yes. There aren’t many heroes who can block mind-type attacks. So even at the 3rd training center, mind-type characters manifest…”
Regal Mite intentionally muttered.
“Yes. Forcibly castrate traits and kill them if they fail.”
“Yes… So anyway, I wonder if there is a mind-type villain in North, so Professor Hyeon has also been brainwashed.”
After thinking about it for a while, the chairman replied.
“He has a shield that protects his mind.”
“Yes? What do you mean by that?”
“It’s a very rare ability called Mental Barrier. It’s a skill that only Professor Hyeon has realized.”
Legal Mite laughed heartily after hearing about the mental barrier from the chairman.
“A mental shield… Then it seems that Dr. Cube is a third person.”
“If Dr. Cube were really Professor Hyun, what were you thinking?”
“Well, I don’t know that far either. But whether it’s Professor Hyeon or a third person, you can’t avoid the judgment of the law. The 70 billion won bounty isn’t free.”
“That’s true. If you’ve been brainwashed, as you say, some extenuating circumstances are possible.”
“Yes….”
Kyo Hyeon was the first team member of Regal Mite.
When the two of them were in high spirits, they received all sorts of strange missions and traveled all over the world, passing the test of life and death.
Goo Hyun-hyun and Regal Mite showed a lot of differences in values and beliefs, and because of that, they eventually broke up and disbanded the team.
So he couldn’t help but feel sick to everyone whether Dr. Cube was Professor Hyun or not.
If Dr. Cube is Professor Hyun, he will receive at least life imprisonment, and if he is a third party, Professor Hyun will really be dead.
The chairman looked at the dark expression of Regal Mite and opened his mouth.
“Ahn Joon-hyeok. You’re a man with a heavy mouth and a sense of loyalty.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
The advisory chairman opened a desk drawer, took something out of it, and set it down on the desk.
It was a bear-patterned handkerchief in a zipper bag.
“What is it?”
“Secretto agents collected it from the scene where you and Dr. Cube fought.”
Legal Might, who looked closely at the handkerchief, looked at the chairman again and asked.
“It’s not mine, maybe… From Dr. Cube?”
The chairman nodded.
“I handed this over to the Scientific Investigation Agency and asked for identification.”
“So how did it go?”
The chairman of the advisory committee, who had been there for a long time without answering right away, said as if tossing it.
“It matches Professor Hyun’s biometric information.”
Regal Mite was at a loss for words.
What does Professor Hyun say?
“Please explain.”
“The blood stain on the handkerchief matches Professor Hyun’s biometric information stored at the Administration Bureau.”
“Didn’t it happen that Professor Hyun accidentally dropped it there in the past?”
“No. It was found that bloodstains had occurred a few days ago. And the Academy CCTV filmed a handkerchief falling out of Dr. Cube’s tactical pocket.”
“Oops…”
Regal Mite, who touched his forehead, suggested a different hypothesis.
“Could it be that he took Professor Hyun hostage and purposely smeared blood on his handkerchief…”
“Why should I?”
“To throw the Administration Bureau into chaos…?”
“You’re already confusing enough. Do I have to go to the trouble? And after two years?”
There was nothing wrong with the chairman’s words, so Regal Might now cupped her forehead with both hands.
“Is the result accurate?”
“I couldn’t believe it, so I asked for identification several times.”
“Why the hell…”
Regal Might, who was rubbing his forehead, lowered his hand and asked.
“Who knows this?”
“Key positions including the deputy director.”
“Deputy Director.”
Regal Mite felt quite disappointed.
“The deputy director is a very cunning person. That’s why he has risen to number two at that age without even having a heroic career. Sooner or later, the director’s retirement age is approaching, but before that, his eyes are wide open to achieve something big. He is a strong candidate for the next director. You want to step on me.”
“I thought I was that kind of person.”
“The deputy director is very excited about this. Now that person understands the situation that Professor Hyeon, for some reason, was obsessed with North’s ideology and killed the agents who went on a retaliatory operation in conspiracy with the green villain. It’s an intention to put the blame on me, who had been preparing for several years. I couldn’t refuse Professor Hyun’s request and suggested that I put him in the operation. The real reason the operation failed was that the input power was cut in half against his opposition. But that is.”
“Then, from the deputy director’s point of view, it would be better if Professor Hyun was a Dr. Cube, not mentally controlled or brainwashed, and a bad guy from the beginning.”
The advisory chairman nodded heavily.
“His purpose is not to capture Dr. Cube. His real purpose is to bring in anything and put me down, and that’s why it was Dr. Cube and Professor Hyun.”
“Then, no matter what the circumstances, Professor Hyun will not be able to come back.”
“Yeah. That’s right. Things got a little complicated.”
“Ummm…”
In the midst of a severe headache, Regal Mite quickly considered several possibilities.
However, if the position of the deputy director, who is number two in the management bureau, is that firm, it seems difficult to hope for positive results no matter what.
“I think I should meet Dr. Cube and talk.”
“Are you Joonhyuk Ahn?”
“Is there any other hero other than me who can face Dr. Cube face to face? At least you will know what he was thinking, or what he really went through with his mind.”
“I see…”
“The deputy director will come out like that, but first of all, we have to figure out exactly what the circumstances of Dr. Cube and Professor Hyeon are, so why don’t we make any countermeasures?”
“You’re right. But meeting Dr. Cube is very difficult. Just meeting him at the academy was almost a miracle.”
“You have to make an effort. It is not justice to blindly accuse someone of being a bad person. It is justice and common sense that you should be punished only for the crime you committed, and if there are any unavoidable circumstances in the process, you should make extenuating circumstances. “
Regal Mite rose from his chair.
“Then let’s go, Chairman. There are many things to prepare to track down Dr. Cube in earnest.”
“If you need help, feel free to contact me. I will do my best within my reach…”
[You don’t have to.]
At the sudden grotesquely altered voice, Regal Mite and the advisory chairman turned their heads.
