Episode 179. Hero (3)

The man wanted to live.

Living on strong drugs and not being able to die was not the ‘life’ he had in mind. It may have been that way a few months ago, but not now.

He killed people to get drugs. After taking the drugs, he killed others without knowing what he was doing. He beat them, shot them, and beat them with clubs.

His colleagues watched with snickers. They would have tolerated violence if guns weren’t pointed at them.

If it made me happy, I might have kept doing it. But it didn’t make me happy.

He was happy while the medicine lasted. But the moment the effects wore off, he fell into a terrible sense of emptiness and pain.

It is not the emptiness and loneliness that comes from taking drugs. Just as the joy he feels when taking drugs is not the psychological happiness that comes from bonding with others and a sense of stability.

It was a physical and physiological problem. He was someone who ‘forced’ himself to be happy when he took drugs, so it was natural for him to ‘force himself’ to be miserable when he didn’t take drugs. Just like when your hand touches fire, it gets hot, and a person without a head can’t walk.

But he had no choice. The other gang members were not ‘trustworthy comrades who would support him in any situation.’ It was several times harder to get drugs than to quit them.

But for a moment, he did it.

“Gasp, huh, haaah…….”

A disgusting groan escaped his lips. He ran and ran through the night streets of Blacrohn.

It was just a rumor. A rumor that someone had returned, that he was somewhere.

It was a rumor he shouldn’t have heard, but he had been supporting Evan for a long time.

Looking back now, the bravery he showed back then was nothing more than the madness of a person whose reason had been paralyzed by drugs. It was just luck that he survived.

But having lost everything, he couldn’t give up that small possibility.

When the Stella City army first came in, it was as if he couldn’t give up the slightest possibility of living again.

“Found it, everything…….”

It was a hideout. The hideout where he and his colleagues, the captain, stayed.

He slowly killed the expectations that were bursting out of his heart with the power of reason.

Hansanmok’s army is still roaming around Blacrohn. It can’t be this obvious.

There was no way that Hansanmok could find the criminal he was looking for, ready to wipe out the entire city, based on mere rumors circulating in bars.

“Ugh…….”

But the reality before his eyes did not change.

No matter how much you expect, a boss that doesn’t exist will not appear. No matter how little you expect, a boss that exists won’t disappear.

Just because the boss was in there didn’t mean there would be drugs. There was just a low probability game that if there were a bunch of urban gangsters huddled together, there would be drugs among them.

But he opened the door. It was dark inside.

Turning on the light was suicidal. He crawled, face down, through the empty space.

The pressure to take the medicine right away moved him. The instinct not to want to think about anything slowed him down.

The thought that he might still be able to go back now clouded his mind.

and.

His arms and legs moved. He crawled forward a step.

The fact that he could never go back, that he could never get his life back, crept into his mind and moved his body once again.

Those who tried to cure his drug addiction were gone. Those who had devotedly helped him, who had helped him get his life back on track, had left the city.

The military doctors of Stella City turned away from him so cruelly.

If only I hadn’t trusted him from the beginning, it wouldn’t have been this painful.

They believed him. They believed the foolish words coming from a notorious drug dealer about wanting to kick his addiction and start a new life.

And he himself believed it. At least until then.

Even when I was on a series of addiction medications and patches, it was painful to shake off the temptation.

But he did it. He overcame temptation, fought against himself, and won.

It’s just that other people have left.

“……ah!”

He found a secret passage hidden in the floor. He fumbled around, filled with anticipation, and opened the password.

A secret passage leading down opened. He crawled through it, climbed the ladder, and descended into the secret base.

It felt like he was falling. It might have been better if he had climbed the ladder more normally, but he didn’t have even a shred of reason left.

Falling from a height of half a person, he could see the gang members watching him.

“You traitorous bastard, where are you coming from…….”

“Medicine! Medicine, medicine, give me medicine. Medicine…….”

“You crazy kid, I don’t need you anymore!”

His friends pushed him away roughly. It may have been the last mercy given to him that they did not shoot him dead right away.

I didn’t think it mattered. In fact, I thought it might be better.

Once he falls, all he’s left with is a life filled with drugs, violence, emptiness and sadness. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

Despite that, his body wanted to survive. No, it wanted drugs.

His voice was heard. It was a cruel man’s voice that made one feel fear just by hearing it.

“No, Captain! I don’t think you know what that kid did, but he’s a traitor! He’s been digging up all the information about you!”

“Okay, just give me the medicine first.”

But now his voice was salvation, as if telling him that there was still room for him.

A syringe was thrown into his hand. The needle was blunt, and the liquid inside was cloudy and dirty, like mud.

Without hesitation, he brought the needle to his arm and pricked himself.

Just the touch of a sharp shape to his body makes him feel his desire burning.

The slimy liquid enters his body. His mind shakes. The drug takes over his brain, not his. He dies.

Only then could he look Evan straight in the face.

“Welcome back, you dirty fucking traitor.”

Evan was looking at the sight as if he was enjoying it.

“Aren’t you working?”

Lisa pouts and taps the steering wheel.

“What are you talking about? This is all my job.”

“Is it the boss’ job to steal a perfectly good police car and go on patrol instead?”

“Think of it as a police car date.”

“You’re dating before work hours are even over… I guess I’ll have to put my name on the disciplinary paperwork I paid for today.”

I didn’t necessarily intend to call her, but there was no one among the police officers I could trust.

If I’m with her, even if my identity is exposed, I can just say, ‘He’s hitting on a woman again… ‘ but if I’m with another cop, the conversation gets a little more serious.

“Is the date okay?”

“I will report this as power-type sexual harassment.”

“Do you know how many people I know at the police station? Yesterday, too? I even had a meal with the chief here…….”

“Okay.”

Lisa sighed deeply, but didn’t seem upset.

“I heard there’s an opening event happening nearby. The Hamburger Prince is coming.”

“What is that……”

“That gentleman, isn’t he handsome? Heir to Rosinalter. I guess that’s how he got his nickname. When I told him that story when we met, he was so happy.”

“It’s in bad taste.”

We arrived at our destination. The car stopped, and she and I, both wearing police uniforms, got out side by side.

“I don’t know if he likes the young lady or if the profits are good… but anyway, the connection with Glotace was still ongoing.”

“ah…….”

At the end, something so huge happened that everyone forgot what Han San-woo had done before.

Creating greater profits through deep cooperation between companies, and Hansan being the guarantor of this.

“This time, I really can’t fail, so I’m going to focus.”

“Would it help to meet these people?”

“There is no reason why it shouldn’t be done.”

Evan will be avoiding Hansanmok’s pursuit, so there’s no reason for him to come back to a place like this and ruin the event.

But whether it was the man or the ‘accident’, it was ultimately a crime committed by the people who lived here.

If you can read the mood, you can prepare for it.

Before she and I could even take a few steps, we heard a voice calling them.

“Oh my, what’s that? You’re out on patrol? You two look so good together!”

Lisa felt the kind gaze of the person looking at her with blank eyes.

She changed her makeup and put on a wig. She probably wouldn’t say such warm words knowing that she’s Lisa, the police chief of Stella City.

“If you’re hungry, do you want to eat a donut? They’re freshly baked and delicious.”

She had also been in the field. It was not common for a police officer to receive such favor.

You may have felt that the way you looked at them had changed, but you may not have felt it this vividly.

She shook her head, seeming bewildered.

“I still can’t believe it.”

Lisa raised her head and looked at me with hazy eyes.

“It was just a daily routine. Being resented by everyone. Well, I thought it was inevitable for the police to do that…….”

“It can’t be helped. Other police officers might not be like that, but you work hard.”

“It’s so… so sweet to hear. It’s so sweet, I feel like I’m being seduced. If a skilled swallow had been trying to seduce me, I think that’s what he would have said….”

Lisa is a real cop. She was the same in the game and in person.

He is a more upright person than someone like me who cherry-picks justice while calculating profit and loss.

A person like that deserves to be treated accordingly. One donut wasn’t enough.

“thank you.”

“What are you thankful for?”

I went with her to get some free donuts.

Lisa’s steps seemed much lighter. It was only for a short moment, but it was as if something that had been building up in her heart had been shaken off.
