Personality Broken Hero - Personality Broken Hero chapter 33
33 – Episode 33
As the case was not easily resolved, public anxiety accelerated.
As the saying goes, “Where there is shadow, there must be light,” Some industries are enjoying an unexpected boom due to this serial murder case.
As a result of this incident, there have been many videos analyzing the incident in various video media, and among those videos, removing the security windows inevitably creates noise, so all the studios where the serial murders took place are houses without security windows installed. Analysis was widespread.
If the culprit had a purpose, he would break the security window and break in, but he paid attention to the fact that additional actions are needed and that noise can cause witnesses.
In the end, not only did everyone get a flood of orders saying that they would install security windows and even have a waiting number for reservations, but YouTube was overflowing with videos and advertisements from product manufacturers on how to install security windows on their own, or how to advertise at this time.
For the announcement that the special investigation unit hastily closed the case, it was criticized from the top and criticized by citizens, but there were many opinions defending it because they caught a criminal who could develop into a serial killer.
Most of the people in the Special Investigation Unit who lost face due to this incident gave up until the holidays and devoted all their energy to the case investigation.
I was also patrolling by flying over the studio-dwelling area every night. It might not mean much, but just in case, I turned on the lights and patrolled.
I was patrolling for a few days, reducing my sleeping time, and the National Intelligence Service contacted me saying they had something to talk about.
I grew up receiving government support from a young age, and I vaguely thought that when I grew up, I would not be a hero, but would work for an intelligence agency or a secret unit.
However, as I found out later, the screening standards for such organizations are very strict, so they rarely select people of mixed blood or who have lived abroad for a long time after leaving Korea.
The place I went to after receiving the call was a building that looked like a house, but there was nothing inside other than a desk and chair.
“Please sit over here.”
Since I still had fantasies about the informant I dreamed of when I watched the movies of my childhood, I was a little excited, but I sat down in the chair with a calm expression.
A man in his 30s with a normal-looking appearance said in a calm voice.
“For now, read this document in its entirety. If you sign, I will explain in detail at that time.”
Looking at the documents the man presented, it was a confidentiality agreement and an application for permission to handle confidentiality.
I thought for a moment that I should just sign it coolly without thinking, but I calmly read the document because it wouldn’t be nice if I didn’t look serious about this.
The pledge of confidentiality was written in a long line with various rhetoric, but to put it simply, it was about strict punishment by law if the secret was spread.
I don’t know if it will be punished only by law, but…
My position, date of birth, name, and ability were already written on the application for confidentiality, and I didn’t have to sign it.
Since I didn’t see anything that could be a problem, I signed the oath.
“Wait a minute, please.”
The man sorted out my pledge and messed with the computer for a while.
“The matter was urgent, so it was dealt with right away. This is a certificate of authorization for handling confidentiality.”
The man took out a small card from the desk and looked at it. It was a secret authorization certificate with my photo and affiliation written on it.
“The government has a very strong will to resolve this case. It is in the national interest to deal with it quickly regardless of means and methods.”
It was fully expected that he would do something illegal to some extent.
If the villain is not dealt with quickly, the national image will be damaged.
In particular, there is a strong impression that Korea is relatively safe from villain crimes, but this incident is taking some damage to its image.
“Since Mr. Nikolai’s level of secrecy is low, I can’t tell you all the people or plans involved in the operation, but the moment he commits another crime by putting clairvoyance, hearing, and animal manipulation abilities beyond imagination. We are going to arrest you.”
The ability to manipulate animals is incredibly rare.
The ability to manipulate the mind is extremely rare, and it is impossible to greatly oppose the will of the target even if manipulated.
Even if you succeed in controlling it, if you command something against your will, it will be released in an instant, and even if you control it little by little over a long period of time, there is no case of successful control like magic, and at best, it can be controlled without feeling out of place. It is sometimes treated as a useless ability, but whenever it is worth forgetting, there are cases of damage caused by mind control.
The ability to control animals has strengths compared to the ability to control humans. It is far easier to gain loyalty from animals than humans without having to control them, and they are incomparably more useful in that they can control multiple creatures. Can be used to
“Arrest?”
I wondered if I heard it wrong because it said it was an arrest, not a killing.
“Yes. It’s an arrest. If Nikolai’s life is not in danger, please do not kill him, just neutralize him.”
In fact, he said it was natural to catch the criminal, so I was a bit suspicious.
“But is it possible to identify the culprit?”
The man nodded slightly and said.
“If I commit a crime again, I am 100% prepared to catch it.”
It seems that there are more people involved than I thought.
“Nikolai’s role is to stand by in two shifts until the culprit is caught.”
“2Nd shift? Who else?”
The man frowned slightly. He wondered if he had asked too many questions of the person in the intelligence agency.
“I can’t tell you his name, but he’s an agent who can respond at a similar speed to Nikolai.”
Sometimes rumors circulate that he must be a member of a government-directed group of talented people.
It is known that there is an organization composed of high-powered people who do not openly act as heroes, but operate in secret, but details are not disclosed.
“Since it is a large-scale inspection targeting a large number of people, the operation will be conducted in private. I believe that you fully understand the importance of the issue and that it is for the national interest.”
That’s how I got out of the Special Investigation Unit and started waiting at the prepared place on the roof of a high-rise building.
Until now, it was a fact that everyone knew, but there were camouflaged missile and anti-aircraft positions installed on the roof of a famous building.
I’ve been flying around this building before, but I didn’t notice it at all.
I got goosebumps at the fact that there was a missile that could have been aiming at me without my knowledge.
There were six clairvoyant clairvoyants wearing military uniforms only on top of the building where I am now, and the rumors that most clairvoyants were recruited by the military with loose regulations and hefty salaries seemed to be true.
The real-time coverage area seen from the operational headquarters’ control room covered most of Seoul.
I was able to get a glimpse of the capabilities of a country with a population of over 80 million.
I never expected that such a large-scale input of talent would be possible.
Even at a rough estimate, the entire city of Seoul was under surveillance with hundreds of clairvoyance, hearing, and animal control abilities that seemed to be laughable.
Although other crimes other than serial killers could not be adopted as evidence, they were being reported and collected in detail.
I was a little afraid when I realized that if the cleaning work I often did had been done several times in a short period of time, or if a similarity had been found in the disappearance case, the state would have mobilized an enormous amount of national capacity to inspect it, and it would have been caught in an instant.
After waiting for the first 12 hours, the person who was replacing me was already waiting, so I changed 10 minutes before the waiting time was filled.
I couldn’t even see the face of the person to be replaced, but the intelligence department agent informed me that if I arrived 10 minutes before the next shift, I could change immediately.
It’s only the second dispatch, but they say they’ve already found the suspect.
I heard the sound of a drone flying in a densely populated one-room area assigned by a person with hearing ability.
Immediately, a large amount of people with clairvoyance abilities were put in to discover the person operating the drone.
The clairvoyants watched the drone’s flight closely, and were almost certain it was the culprit when they looked suspiciously through the windows.
As a result of checking the identity of the suspicious person who returned home, it was a former hero who had physical strengthening abilities and shock mitigation abilities.
The shock mitigation ability is the ability to have a certain degree of resistance to blows by distributing the received shock throughout the body.
Of course, there is a limit to the ability, so it is almost ineffective against shocks that exceed the amount of shock it can withstand, cuts through blades, and little resistance to articulation.
Immediately, as a result of dozens of people searching the suspect’s house one by one with the ability to see through, they found a latex glove containing 100 pieces, and it was found that it matched the shoe size of the remaining footprints.
The final piece of evidence that drives the wedge is Internet records discovered by the Cyber Investigation team, which were able to find records of Street View usage at every location where the crime was committed.
Until a few years ago, while working as a hero, he was disqualified from being a hero due to domestic violence, and many records of excessive suppression remained even during hero activities.
Maybe my record isn’t very clean either. Heroes who are unimaginable to ordinary people often use excessive force.
Statistically, there are fewer heroes who do not have such a record, whether it is their own anger or a defense mechanism stemming from the fear of losing their lives.
The operation headquarters decided to confirm the suspect as a de facto suspect and carry out a secret capture operation.
It was decided that only two intelligence agents and I would go out and secure the suspect, but it was decided that I would do it alone.
It is said that the agents of the intelligence department are high-ranking officers and only stand by in case of an emergency.
In front of the suspect’s house, with the help of a mind link, the vision of the clairvoyant is transmitted, and the plan is to break the wall and enter and subdue it in an instant.
Since the performance of my body far surpasses my reflexes, it is difficult to even react unless I am a person with thought acceleration or sixth sense ability if I decide my actions in advance and use my abilities to the maximum.
It turned into a human missile and fell from the air with its arms crossed, accelerating at tremendous speed.
In an instant, the suspect broke through the roof of the suspect’s house and rushed into the house, striking the suspect’s leg with all his might, who was lying on the sofa.

There was a noise of something exploding, and in front of my eyes was a cloud of cloudy concrete powder, so I could only vaguely see the suspect’s shape.
I immediately approached the suspect, who tried to cope with something, but didn’t notice that his leg had been amputated yet, only to waddle awkwardly.
I went right behind the suspect and wrapped my arms around his neck, knocking him out.
The plan was to secure the suspect, then fly into the air in an instant and go to the headquarters, but I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t know that his leg would be amputated.
Blood was leaking profusely from the lower half of the suspect’s body.
It was difficult to lift two legs, so I roughly shoved them into the suspect’s trousers and flew back to headquarters.
The surgical team was busy preparing in case things went wrong.
Even at the headquarters that passed the operation, they seemed surprised that my power was beyond their imagination.
Since I didn’t need anything more, I went home after talking with the person in charge.
“Are you here?”
“Uh.”
When I went home with a relieved heart, Hanseo lay down on her sofa, watching TV, and welcomed me without even looking at me.
After quitting her job, Seo-ah Han, who sleeps all day and rolls around, watching TV or fiddling with her cell phone, recently started cooking as a hobby as if she was bored.
Because I had to eat very high calories, I rarely cooked, and I used to stuff convenience foods for talented people or boil chicken breast and eat it.
I pay for the ingredients with my credit card anyway, but the price of convenience food is not cheap, so I was happy to cook.
Of course, I was a little worried about watching TV all day, not thinking about working, except when I was cooking.
A few days later.
It was announced that the special investigation headquarters, not the NIS, had caught the criminal, and the captured criminal admitted his crime in public.
The NIS told me that the reason why they dared to capture the culprit was that it was necessary to reveal Korea’s investigative capabilities for complicated reasons.
After being cut from being a hero in front of cameras, the perpetrator stated that he lost most of his fortune in a divorce case and took his anger out on society because of his anger.
The culprit’s speech was slurred and his eyes were out of focus, and he looked a little strange.
I couldn’t get rid of the terrified look on the criminal’s face.
Anyway, I felt like I was being tortured.
Of course, the villain’s human rights are not my part-time job, so I quickly forgot them.
