This Villain is Soft - Chapter 114

Episode 114

Boom!

A heavy fist slammed into the terrified face.

“Ahhh! Stop! Stop it!”

Bae An-jae 5, tied to a chair in the interrogation room, struggled with blood flowing from his nose.

Joo-yeol wiped the blood off his hands and sat down at the table, chuckling.

“What are you going to do after getting hit once?”

As I clenched and unclenched my fists as if in awe and stared at Bae An Jae 5, he trembled in fear and shouted.

“Is it okay for a hero to do this? Is it okay for a hero to beat up people?”

“What’s wrong with a hero beating a villain?”

“I’m tied up now! When you dragged me here, you rolled me around like a ball. If this isn’t venting your anger, then what is it?”

At those words, Juyeol stopped with his fist clenched and answered dryly.

“That’s right. Venting anger.”

“Wh, what?”

Bae An-jae 5 looked around the interrogation room with an anxious expression.

The half-mirror connected to the next room was covered with cloth, and no footsteps could be heard outside the door.

In this small space, there is only the hero called Ghost and me.

“Are you going to keep me locked up here just to vent your anger? No, are you?”

“well.”

As Ju-yeol leisurely took out the gun, checked the magazine, and loaded it, Bae An-jae 5’s face turned pale.

It has been two days since Ha-on was imprisoned at the Kwon Young Rehabilitation Center.

I wonder if all the decision makers involved in this matter have been exposed to some weakness by Bae An-jae or have been brainwashed.

There was no communication and work was done in a haphazard manner.

They tried to put pressure on the headquarters, led by Hunter, but it was useless since the hero headquarters was an organization under the National Police Agency.

As the two-shot led the machine locusts to attack the headquarters, there was no time to look for Haon for a while.

Thanks to that, we were able to catch the straggler Bae An-jae 5 at the edge of Zone 2, but we lost more.

Even after this incident occurred, the police department did not take any action.

The staff at headquarters also gritted their teeth, saying that they knew this neighborhood was particularly corrupt, but they had no idea it would become this corrupt.

When the news of Haon’s imprisonment was widely reported, people’s reactions were similar.

“I know things have changed a bit lately, but I knew that Dr. Eunhaon would eventually do that.”

“Seeing as he was caught for destroying evidence, I guess that’s when he started having problems with his head.”

Neither the secret trial that was held suddenly nor the fact that the details of the case were unknown were considered particularly suspicious.

Everything was settled with the opinion that it was understandable because it was simply ‘Dr. Eunhaon’.

‘I didn’t mean to send it like that… … .’

The more Juyeol thought about that day’s events, the more upset he felt.

Haon, who was arrested at the lab, was only seen again through a mugshot.

It seems that Bae An-jae also reached out to the prison guards, and Ha-on was designated as a special surveillance subject, and visits were only allowed to immediate family members.

I went to the Kwon Young Rehabilitation Center and requested a visitation, but I couldn’t even go near the prison.

Twoshot also attacked Haon’s area while he was imprisoned.

We stormed into the office, but Chacha and Bunny had already taken the loot from the three areas and disappeared.

Two-shot can no longer kill Haon directly or take his loot first.

Moreover, he didn’t seem to know that there were multiple Bae An-jae members, and he didn’t seem to know that Bae An-jae 5 was locked up in the interrogation room at headquarters.

“Now tell me. What did you do in the middle that got Halo out of this and made Eunhaon take the blame?”

Juyeol turned his gun as if it were his habit and stared at Bae Anjae 5.

“There’s also a way to return magic to Eunhaon. Ah, just say it as best you can.”

Bae An-jae 5, who had been flinching every time the gun was pointed at his face, swallowed dry saliva.

“Are you going to torture me? Do you think you can get away with it?”

“I guess you forgot. In this universe, Bae An-jae is already dead.”

At Juyeol’s soft words, Bae Anjae 5’s expression distorted miserably.

“I don’t know! I don’t know! I’m not a magician, and where I come from, there’s no such thing as magician!”

“You’re one of those guys that Bae An-jae brought.”

“I was just curious about the human body! I was just stuck there because of my curiosity and spirit of exploration!”

“… … Disgusting bastard.”

I don’t know how many people I put on the experimental bench to make potions and elixirs.

Those test subjects could all be villains.

However, we cannot attach the words ‘spirit of inquiry’ and ‘curiosity’ to it.

‘Hyesung was manipulated as a test subject by those kids who think like this.’

Joo-yeol’s forehead became red as he thought that far.

“I suddenly became curious about the human body. I wonder how long you’ll be able to last here.”

“what……?”

“It means that the spirit of inquiry is awakened.”

Joo-yeol, who had lifted his body from the table, looked down at Bae An-jae 5 with his eyes that were burning black.

Since the target has already been captured, we cannot shoot, and even if he is recorded as dead, we cannot treat him inhumanely as long as he is at headquarters.

‘But it can scare you.’

Joo-yeol turned off all the lights in the interrogation room.

“Wh, what is it? What are you talking about! Stop it! Do you think I’ll leave you alone? I’m not alone!”

Bae An-jae 5 tried to get out of the chair as if he was having a seizure.

There were shadows all around, and the heat that had become one with the darkness was nowhere to be seen. Or rather, it was everywhere.

The Ghost circled around the 5th Anniversary of the Battleship like a cornered animal, mumbling.

“The one who killed Bae An-jae, who lived in this dimension, must have been the one you followed. Do you think that bastard would come to save you? If he did, he would have come a long time ago.”

“… … !”

“You’re abandoned here. You disappear without anyone noticing in a world where no one even knows you exist.”

Baeanjae 5 felt goosebumps at the eerie voice coming from an unknown direction.

“Hey, where are you? Where are you… … !”

My lungs felt like they were shrinking as the ghost suffocated me.

How much time passed in silence and darkness?

Suddenly, the back of my neck was grabbed and my body fell backwards, and I let out a scream.

* * *

That dawn.

Joo-yeol checked the destination on his cell phone and got on his bike.

As soon as that happened, the handlebar of the bike was ripped off by a hand that came out from the side.

“… … .”

As Juyeol let out an annoyed sigh, Nova grabbed him by the collar and dragged him off the bike.

“Ha, f*ck.”

Taang!

Nova blocked the gun shot by Juyeol with her hand and crushed the muzzle.

There wasn’t a single scratch on the hand wearing the gloves Haon made.

Juyeol threw away his gun without hesitation and pulled out another gun, but Nova grabbed his wrist.

Juyeol, who knew that Nova would always have the upper hand in a battle of push and pull, pulled his wrist away and instead put his arm around his shoulder and threw him to the floor.

Coughing, Nova clenched his teeth and quickly got up.

Bang bang! Taang! Bang!

Joo-yeol shot Nova’s stomach as he strode towards me, but there was not a single scratch on his pure white clothes.

Novado didn’t stop, only flinched at the sharp pain, but came right up to his nose and swung his fist.

A fist landed right next to Juyeol’s face, without even blinking. A hole was made in the wall with a slap.

A shard of rock flew out, leaving a thin gash on Juyeol’s cheek, while the cold muzzle of a gun touched Nova’s chin.

“Ghost. Are you back?”

“If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

Nova furrowed her brows and raised her lips, annoyed at the annoying attitude.

“Just let me take Eunhaon?”

“Would I have wanted to do that?”

“So what? If the police came to arrest you, you should have killed them all and then run away with Eunhaon.”

“… … .”

Joo-yeol thought that if it were Nova, she would have really done that. She would have probably broken the necks of the police officers who came without a moment’s hesitation and run away to another country.

‘Did Haon wish for that too?’

Joo-yeol could be sure that that couldn’t be the case.

“Do you want him to live his whole life as a fugitive?”

“Isn’t it better than being a prisoner?”

“Are you trying to take away a place to live from someone who’s just starting out in a strange land?”

“… … .”

After a tense and bloody standoff, the two distanced themselves.

Nova looked back in the direction of the Kwon Young Rehabilitation Center.

“Ghost. You’ve never been locked up there before. It’s a place that even I have a hard time escaping from.”

“I’ll bring it out legally. This case was investigated wrongly from the beginning.”

“Haha! Legal? As you said, the investigation was twisted from the beginning, so how can you find legality in that?”

“… …you will meet a sniper.”

Nova’s eyes widened slightly at Juyeol’s words.

“Are you looking forward to another confession from Halo? I’m very hopeful.”

He picked up the broken handle, but decided it was useless, clicked his tongue, and threw it away.

“I wonder who passed it on to.”

“… … .”

Nova unconsciously recalled Haon’s bright, shining smile.

“My dear, are you lonely? You can’t find anyone you can trust and you’re stuck in an unfamiliar place.”

Then Juyeol hesitated and then said.

“There is someone who can meet Haon.”

“Are you thinking of bribing the prison guards? Or─”

Nova, who had been sneer-ing, stopped as he remembered something.

“… … Ah. Right. There is one.”
