72 – Same goal, different purpose (7)
The heroes and police were already waiting, and the number of villains was smaller than expected. As the two conditions met, the villains’ terror ended faster than expected.
There are some injuries, but there are no casualties. It’s a perfect hero’s victory –
“Did you capture everything?”
“Maybe?”
“Okay. “It’s a pain in many ways.”
It would have been great if it simply ended like this. Hangyeol watched Handsome sighing and groaning and scratched his head.
“Who is the suspect?”
“I went back.”
“Is there anything going on?”
“Nothing was said. “I didn’t seem to notice, though.”
Those who attacked Yumi – thinking of it that way would put her at ease, but the problem is that she is none other than a suspect under the suspicion of the heroes.
“Hmm… Is it possible that this is a self-made play again?”
“It didn’t seem possible at all.”
“…So you’re saying they are Repentance’s villains?”
“No. Definitely the evil brigade.”
“It’s really a pain in the ass…”
Now, the handsome man is tying his head and groaning. Hangyeol smiled bitterly and wiped her face.
The villains of the Evil Brigade truly tried to kill Yumi. Hangyeol could be sure of this because he had fought it himself. However, if that happens, problems will arise.
“…Did I make a mistake?”
This time too, they were sincere to say it was acting. So why are you seriously trying to kill someone who is part of the same organization?
It would be more credible to say that you were wrong. That’s why Hangyeol lowered his head and muttered gloomily, but-
“It’s possible, but even so, it’s strange.”
“…Yes?”
“The kids had a terrorist attack and didn’t help come right away? “You don’t know why, right?”
“Is that so?”
“I heard a fight broke out somewhere else. “I heard that a large number of villains clashed with the heroes.”
Rather, Handsome thought that his opinion was not wrong and shook his head.
“Yes?!”
“Where? Really?!”
“Okay. “There wasn’t that much damage, so you don’t have to worry, but the problem is that their behavior is strange.”
“You say it’s strange…?”
“Okay. Those guys fought the heroes and caused a mess, but the problem was that as soon as the terrorist attack occurred at the department store, they panicked and tried to move in that direction. Well, I don’t know what happened because they all ran away later.”
Handsome frowned and continued speaking. Hangyeol, who realized the strangeness of his words, eventually figured out the identity of the sense of discomfort.
“Jamming…”
“Okay. “If these guys are different villains than the guys who caused the terrorist attack over there – what would be the factor that would make them embarrassed?”
Blocking of communication devices due to jamming. Then, the reason they moved in panic was because they were panicked by an attack that even they, fellow villains, could not know about and tried to move.
In that case, it is also possible to guess that Yumi, who was there, sensed that she was in danger and tried to move.
Of course, there may be other reasons. They may have panicked because a terrorist attack they didn’t even know about occurred, or they may have panicked because more heroes than expected appeared and ran towards the place where the commotion occurred.
However, that doesn’t mean we can ignore one of the many possibilities. Hangyeol smiled bitterly as he felt her head hurt, and then shook her head to shake off her idle thoughts.
“Whatever it is, my job remains the same.”
“Yes.”
What they really are and why they did this will eventually be revealed. Anyway, there are villains he caught, and Handsome happens to be here too.
“I have one more question.”
“What is it?”
There is no point in thinking about it here. After making that decision, Hangyeol quickly turned his head and-
“…Why are they here?”
I asked Hyuna and So-ah, who obviously weren’t there when I first made the plan, who flinched and looked away when I pointed them out for some reason, and asked if they were here.
“It’s a surprise guest. “I brought something that was off-duty.”
“…Yes?”
“Let’s just call it that.”
“hahahaha… That’s right.”

“Of course!”
How can I tell you that I thought you were dating a suspect and followed you out of jealousy? Handsome shrugged his shoulders, grumbling on the inside but saying something completely different on the outside.
They were planning to scold them, but in the end, they were the ones who caught the villains who were trying to come down from the rooftop. Whatever the reason, he joked that he would just let it go since he had achieved great results as a hero in the end, and the girls quickly nodded and agreed with his words.
“Well, if that’s the case, then so be it.”
“Okay. First, I have to go interrogate those guys. Are you going together?”
“Even if I go, there’s nothing I can do to help. “I’m tired and want to get some rest.”
“I see. Good job.”
Han-gyeol, convinced that it was so, shrugged his shoulders and took a step forward, while Handsome approached the villains he had captured at the department store and began using his abilities –
“Hangyeol! “There are no injuries, right?”
“Yes. “Since when have you been here?”
“Huh? Ahahahaha… About two hours ago?”
The moment when So-ah and Hyun-ah approach Han-gyeol and talk to him, taking a short break.
“-Holy sh*t! “What the hell?!”
“…I guess there’s a problem?”
I realized something was wrong when I suddenly heard Handsome’s cry of shock.
“Teacher, what’s going on?”
“You damn villains. “I’m really sick of it.”
Handsome just grits his teeth and glares at the villains even when you approach him and talk to him. They immediately turned their gaze towards the villains, and soon realized why he was so irritated.
“-What?”
On the outside, there is no change. He just closes his eyes and looks like he’s passed out. But-
“…Dead?”
The fact that all of them were bleeding from their mouths and that their hearts were not beating even when I approached them closely and felt their pulses showed that they had faced death.
“What is this… Hangyeol?”
While all the heroes and police around him were silent with shocked expressions, Hangyeol quickly got up and ran somewhere –
“-Teacher. “What about these guys?”
I shouted after checking the two villains who were the only ones not bleeding from their mouths, whose lips were sewn with thread –
“He died.”
“…Yes?”
“No, more accurately – I should say he was dead.”
After hearing Handsome sigh, I froze.
“I said I saw a lot of them somewhere – these are those guys.”
A villain with a sewn mouth – no, a corpse that is already dead. However, the body cannot move on its own. So it was difficult to guess its identity – but the heroes had already seen something similar to them.
“…The guy Jihyeon caught.”
None other than the corpse that Jihyeon had caught and had used her abilities on.
Is it because of the shock of fighting someone who is already dead, or is it because I am horrified by the fact that someone did something like this?
Han-gyeol was frozen for a long time, looking at the corpses with their eyes closed and peaceful expressions as if they were sleeping, and the same was true for the others.
In the continued silence, the heroes could only look down at them.
“Silence!”
“…What happened?”
Meanwhile, Yumi returns to her dorm after being investigated.
“That’s not important now!”
“You just said those things aren’t important?”
She opened her mouth, glaring at the villains who rushed over with cold eyes.
“This is really strange. “It doesn’t matter that I almost died.”
“Ugh-“
“Then what is more important than this? Huh?”
She didn’t say anything and just continued her words. However, the villains were unable to breathe as they were blocking their throats with their hands as if they were being strangled by something.
“That…Is-“
“Tell me one more time. “What’s important?”
As Yumi was about to close her eyes with foam spouting from the corners of her mouth due to the continued pressure, the villains stretched out their hands and pointed behind her –
“If it’s important, it’s important.”
Yumi froze at the sound of a voice coming from behind her.
“Because I came.”
“…Chief.”
However, she was frozen only for a moment.
For some reason, she frowned and turned her back, and then she gritted her teeth as she looked up at the face of the masked man looking at her.
“Why?”
“Why?”
A sly voice, as if he knew nothing. But she was not a fool, and she cried out again as if she felt unfair.
“Didn’t you really try to kill me?”
Head of the evil brigade. She already knew about the dolls he handled.
The actions of the dolls that rushed to kill them with sincerity. And a sudden terror that she was unaware of, not only to her but also to the numerous villains under her command.
“Why-“
She argued and glared at him, but-
“Is that a problem?”
“…Yes?”
“Didn’t it instead create an opportunity? An opportunity for you and Hero Shield to become closer. “Because love between men and women naturally blooms in times of crisis.”
He just continued talking as if he was happy, and Yumi held her breath and opened her eyes wide.
“…Are you serious?”
“I’m serious. In the end, you didn’t die, right? Because he moved to protect you.”
“But, if he had been incompetent at all-“
“He must have died. “Then it was a pity, but-“
But, the results were good. Yes?
Yumi quietly closed her eyes at the sight of him smiling happily.
“It worked out well in the end, right?”
“…Yes.”
Yes, he was this kind of person.
“You look very dissatisfied. But- I hope you understand how I feel.”
A person who acts and thinks of even his subordinates as mere tools.
“I guess I didn’t step in because you weren’t making any progress? Rather, I am in a position where I need to receive a thank you note. “Wouldn’t you have been able to make your next appointment because of this?”
He does not hesitate to take any action to achieve the results he wants –
“I’ll say it again, you know what will happen if this plan fails, right?”
If the desired result is not achieved in the process, he does not hesitate to kill even his own people.
That’s why he’s a villain, and that’s why he’s the head of a villain organization – pure evil. There is no point in arguing with him.
“…Yes.”
“Okay, that’s all you need to know.”
After he nodded her head in satisfaction and patted her shoulder, Yumi nodded and quietly closed her eyes as she watched him quietly disappear.
