159 – How no one knows what people do (2)
I was walking endlessly in a hazy fog.
Without knowing where I am, what time it is, or who I am.
I just keep walking because the floor is hard and there are no walls blocking my way.
I can’t remember.
It seemed that several faces were faintly glimmering in front of my eyes, and it seemed that a bright light was shining down on them.
However, nothing could be clearly identified, and only afterimages that seemed to be dreams come to mind.
No, maybe this is a dream?
Then when and how can you wake up?
Perhaps there is an exit at the end of this fog.
[I finally found it.]
Someone stepped out of the fog, blocking my path.
She was a pretty woman with blonde hair, a petite body, and a mischievous eye smile.
[My legs hurt from walking like that.]
[Who are you?]
[Eh? Don’t you know me?]
The startled woman immediately touched her chin.
[Hmm, really. She’s almost dead, so it can still be a bit confusing.]
[What are you talking about? Who are you?]
[How should I do that to wake up?]
A woman who didn’t answer my question and was thinking about something by herself snapped her fingers.
[Yes! This should be it!]
[This?]
The woman laughed evilly as she held up the bloody and dented baseball bat that had been in her hand for some time.
[Stop it now and go up! It’s already been over a week!]
[Where do you want to go up?]
[To the place where beloved disciples wait!]
A woman hit me on the top of my head with a baseball bat.
No, if you take a picture like this, you won’t wake up and go up, but you’ll pass out and die.

“Huh?”
When Professor Hyun opened his eyes, Song Do-yoon, who was using his cell phone, opened his eyes wide.
“Hey, Han Min-ha. Professor.”
“Uh huh?”
Han Min-ha, who was dozing in the chair, jumped up from his chair as he struggled with his limbs.
“What is what?”
“Professor opened his eyes.”
“Huh huh?”
Han Min-ha, who met Professor Hyun’s eyes, stiffened and opened his mouth.
“Minha.”
“Uh… Professor?”
“Yes.”
“Really the professor? The defense science major at Grafford Academy?”
“Right.”
“How….”
“Because someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat.”
Han Min-ha, who was standing still, not knowing what that meant, burst into tears and attacked Professor Hyun.
“Ouch!”
“Ahhh! Professor!!”
Although he lost more weight than when he was a student, Han Min-ha, who filled that position with muscles, was quite heavy, so Professor Hyun felt that he was suffocating.
“It’s suffocating…”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Oh my God…”
Han Min-ha kneaded and groped Professor Hyun-hyun’s face with both hands as she squeezed out tears.
“Are you really okay? Cough? Chest pain?”
“It’s okay. But I’d rather ask. Why don’t I cough more?”
“How did that happen?”
At that moment, Professor Hyeon found a strange phrase on the TV that was playing over Han Min-ha’s shoulder.
「On-site Arrest of Deputy Director on Transfer Suspicion」.
That’s… What do you mean? Immigration charges? Deputy director?
“Wait a minute, Minha.”
Han Min-ha, who followed Professor Hyeon’s gaze, stepped aside so he could watch TV.
On the screen, I saw the deputy director being dragged away with both arms restrained by the management bureau heroes.
I was protesting wildly and shouting something, but I don’t know exactly, but it was unfair, and it seemed to be claiming that everything was political slander.
Soon the screen changed and this time the advisory chairman appeared.
Numerous reporters were holding microphones and mobile phones in front of him.
[Please explain in detail about the management bureau’s announcement that the deputy director was colluding with North!]
[Literally. The Deputy Commissioner was one of North’s chief executives. He had been subsumed by the North for a long time to overthrow the Administration.]

With the flash of the camera frantically flashing, the chairperson calmly continued to answer.
[I can’t go into detail, but a few years ago, the heroes of the Bureau were killed by a villain with non-standard traits secluded in a certain area. After that, an attempt was made to retaliate, but it also failed. Originally, 10 heroes were scheduled to be used for the retaliatory operation, but it was reduced to five due to the opposition of the deputy director, and that was the decisive reason for the failure.]
[What does that have to do with this incident?]
[This villain belongs to North and has the characteristic of generating deadly poison gas from the body. North was using this trait to research weapons of mass destruction, and the deputy director interfered in the middle to prevent the Administration’s heroes from killing the villain. They even tried to launch another retaliatory operation recently, but this time the deputy director refused to approve it, not to cut staff. The proof is here.]
The chairman listened to a report.
[This is an approval document uploaded by a department head belonging to the management bureau. The deputy director refused to settle this. This is a matter that is also detailed in the management bureau situation log.]
[But is it really possible that the deputy director was concerned about power loss?]
The chairman shook his head at the reporter’s question.
[If you watched the video of Dr. Cube that was broadcast across the country last time through radio hijacking, you would know that there was a ledger of slush funds from the North leadership. After obtaining the ledger, the bureau traced the flow of funds and revealed that the actual owner of several accounts was the deputy director.]
The deputy director has nothing to do with North.
However, the chairman is a former head of Citrito and has a natural talent for dukes and nemesis.
If you use Secreto’s abilities a little, it’s not a task to create a plausible picture by connecting puzzles that don’t fit together like that.
Perhaps the deputy director’s account had really been deposited with suspicious money from an unknown source, and the amount would roughly match North’s ledger.
The chairperson put together the puzzle brought by Professor Gyo-hyeon and sent the deputy director completely to hell.
It may look mean at first glance, but originally, that floor is like that.
[By the way, Chairman! The story of Dr. Cube came out and I have a question! There are rumors that Dr. Cube was actually brainwashed and used by North. Can you hear some answers about that?]
[Ah, that’s what you mean. I can’t tell you all about the investigation, but the poison gas villain I mentioned earlier also had the characteristic of mind control. Using it, he controlled Dr. Cube and his henchmen, called ‘Team Cube’, and used them like limbs. Then, for some reason, the mental control was released, and Dr. Cube confronted the villain, and our administration was able to kill the villain with the help of it. All details are captured on our agent’s body cam.]
As soon as the answers were finished, reporters scrambled to ask questions.
‘Amnesty’, ‘S-class promotion’, ‘Regal Mite’ and so on.
However, Professor Hyun could not get more information about it because the chairperson left, saying that he would not take any more questions.
“What happened?”
“That’s it, Professor.”
Minha was just about to explain when the door to the hospital room opened and a loud noise was heard.
Turning around, Yu Hee-Won dropped her coffee carrier in her hand and stared at Professor Hyun with her big eyes.
“Heewon.”
Professor Hyun was determined to some extent.
Perhaps Yu Hee-Won would rush at him with a fiery rage, grabbing him by the collar and shaking him wildly.
But instead, Yoo Hee-won trembled and slowly approached the bed and knelt down on her knees.
“Professor…”
Yoo Hee-won, who held Professor Hyun’s hand, wept with her tears in her eyes.
“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for the harsh words.”
“It’s okay.”
“Everything you said about wanting to kill me was a lie. So please don’t die…”
“You woke up without dying.”
“I will listen carefully to the professor, so don’t leave now. Please stay by my side…”
Professor Hyun hugged Yu Hee-won, who was shedding tears.
By the way, there were not just one or two questions.
But first things first.
“But what happened to my body?”
“That’s it.”
Song Doyoon, who was still standing against the wall, opened his mouth.
* * * * *
When Professor Hyeon, who had just crossed the phase portal, was taken to the hospital ward and the children sat down and cried.
When Regal Mite and Song Do-yoon are discouraged at the door of the hospital ward.
Goth Hawk suddenly fell from the sky at great speed and landed.
“Goshawk?!”
Regal Mite and Song Do-yoon, who were about to prepare to attack immediately, stopped their actions when they saw Goshawk’s eyes.
Now Goshawk’s eyes belonged to someone who had lost the world.
Endlessly empty and sad eyes.
“This…”
Goshawk held out a glass bottle to Song Do-yoon, who was blankly staring at those eyes.
“What is this?”
“I found it in the lair of the villain. Reading the notebook, it seems to be an antidote for poison gas. It was made using one’s own blood.”
“The antidote?”
At those words, Han Min-ha, who was crying, and Yoo Hee-won, who was muttering, all raised their heads at the same time and looked this way.
“Give this to the Doctor… Or you’ll probably die soon…”
Song Do-yoon, who was watching Goshawk lowering his head, was handed the bottle and immediately turned to the ward.
“Hey…!”
Goshawk stopped Song Do-yoon, who was about to run to the ward.
“If the Doctor wakes up…”
Song Do-yoon was surprised.
It’s because Goshawk, who never seemed to smile in his life, smiled sadly.
With that smile, Goshawk opened his mouth.
“Tell me to be happy…”
“Okay. I’ll do that.”
Song Do-yoon nodded and ran into the ward.
Goth Hawk gritted his teeth, holding back his tears.
“Goshawk.”
When Regal Might called, Goth Hawk shook his head.
“Shut up. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t want to hear anything.”
Goshawk turned his back coldly.
He can no longer be with the Doctor.
Thorodor and Harvester only have North activities, but she is different.
This is because he has already gained all kinds of notoriety since he was a hero and escaped from being arrested by the administration for drug charges.
Of course, it was North’s unwanted help, but after riding on it and escaping, he openly worked in North.
If Goshawk like that keeps snooping around the Doctor, it’s only natural that the Doctor will be disturbed.
So Goshawk decided to leave.
At best, he could not harm the Doctor, who returned to his normal life.
Above all, Goshawk is not suited to such a life.
An ordinary life with an ordinary job, an ordinary house, and an ordinary happiness.
There was no room for Goth Hawk next to the Doctor surrounded by his beloved disciples.
Like a pile of rotten manure in a colorful flower garden, wine stains on the wallpaper of an elegant banquet hall, or a dead fish washed up on a beautiful beach.
I’m a dirty and smelly being that doesn’t fit there.
So let’s go.
Let’s go away and let the Doctor be happy without any worries.
Because I love the Doctor… I’m leaving because I love you….
Thank you, Doctor.
The past two years have been the most splendid and happiest time in my life, where I have been pointed at by everyone all my life.
I will not forget all the warm words and kind actions you gave me until the day I die.
So be happy.
Hi.
Goth Hawk rubbed his eyes roughly and rose quickly while activating an aura.
“Wait!”
Heewon Yu shouted, but it was already too late.
The stems of the black aura disappeared in an instant into the sky over the city.
